An Update

Let's talk about things! Like Hannibal and Supernatural (but mainly Hannibal because hell yes!), and maybe some other shit too.


So now that Person of Interest and Supernatural are on hiatus, I might be taking a small break from writing. I have some posts that I have been working on for a while, but I don't know if and when I find the inspiration to finish them. I don't know how much writing I'll be doing during the summer, so this space might be quiet. But then again, I will be watching things and if I have something to say I'll be posting throughout the summer. But I'm not promising anything and I definitely won't be doing episode by episode posts of the shows I'll be watching.

Now I have few things to say about Supernatural before we move on to Hannibal. I have to say, I'm still so angry at this show and I can't even rewatch old episodes because I'm so mad. But from what I hear, even the cast and some writers are not happy with what happened, and that makes me feel a little better. And in any case, everyone that has not seen The Hillywood Show's parody should do so at once. This is another reason I can't give up on this show; the cast. They are so wonderful and the fact that so many members of the cast (some, who have not been on this show for years) are willing to participate in something like this is amazing. Now if only the writers could get their shit together everything would be great.

But what matters the most is that Hannibal is back and everything is perfect. Now I'm gonna be perfectly honest, I will not be doing episode by episode posts for this. I love this show to death, it is amazing and perfect by every standard (acting, writing, cinematography, costume and set design etc.) and my writing can never do justice to it. That's a fact. Every frame and line of dialog has layers upon layers of meaning and symbolism. There are references to original texts and to the films. At best, I could only scratch the surface. I have read Red Dragon and seen all the films years ago, but still I'm not very familiar with the original material and many of the nods and references fly over my head. I confess, without subtitles, I miss some words and lines of dialog, so analysing that would be ill advised. There are many other writers better qualified to point out the nuances of this show.

That being said, I will no doubt write something at some point about this show. Hannibal gives me a lot of feeling and I'm sure at some point I'll need to vent them out. I mean, that was only the first episode of this season and already I feel like I can't handle this show. And I'm pretty sure the moment Richard Armitage appears on the screen I will explode with excitement. I can't wait.
